In many of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk away. Without belts they could h[...]

    Driving in Rain and on Wet Roads Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet road, you cannot stop, accelerate, or turn as well because your tire-to-road traction is not as good as on dry roads.
